Such as these:

















To me if the title is either in all small letter or capitalized then the title should be changed.
Such as:
the air i breathe > The Air I Breathe
dot the i > Dot the I
how i met your mother ? How I Met Your Mother
i am sam > I am Sam
and so on.

However, if the title is used to single out the small 'i' then the title should reflect that since it was done on purpose.
Such as:
M:i-2 > Remains the same to reflect what is on the cover.
i, ROBOT > i, Robot  (Change the ROBOT to Robot, but keep the small 'i' since it's obvious it is done that way for a reason.
THE i INSIDE > The i Inside (Same reason as i, Robot)


Perhaps I'm wrong in this, but I have come across several cases in different regions for i,Robot which is done the way I showed, including the All Access versions for Region 1.

All the i's should be capitalized no matter if they are written with a dot on the cover.

We use standard capitalisation for titles.

Well, if you're going to write M:i-2 you'll have to split the M and the 2 as well as that's how they are written on the cover. Good luck with that!

hmmm, so i just re-read over the title rules and it never actually says anything about standard capitalization.

the three parts that apply to capitalization of titles are:

Quote:
Check capitalization of the title.

that is very vague, check for what? that it matches how it appears on the title?

Quote:
For English titles do not capitalize joining words such as "of", "the", "a", "in", etc. unless they are the first, last or only word in of the title. "Lord of the Rings" is correctly capitalized. "Lord Of The Rings" is not. "The Matrix Reloaded" is correctly capitalized. "The matrix reloaded" is not.

seems to imply standard capitalization because it says "The matrix reloaded" is incorrect and "The Matrix Reloaded" is correct, and the cover is in all capitals. Other than indirectly in the examples however this rule is only mentioning 'joining words' and says nothing about standardizing the capitalization.

Quote:
For non-English titles, use capitalization rules common to the language of the title “Tout va bien” is correctly capitalized. “Tout Va Bien” is not

Now capitalization rules are mentioned, but it says for non-English titles. It says nothing about using capitalization rules for English titles.

The rules do mention to use standard capitalization rules for credits if they are in all capital but nothing about if they are all lowercase. Further, nothing says to apply this same thing to the title. In fact the capitalization rules for titles is actually very unclear if read.

additionally, there seems to be a lot of focus on the "i" in all the titles mentioned, but there are titles (such as crazy/beautiful) that are on the cover in all lowercase, don't contain an i, and have been entered with standard capitalization rules.

I can see going from all caps to standard caps, I can somewhat see going from all lowercase to standard caps, but I can't really see going from mixed caps and selectively capitalizing certain words that were left lowercase for a reason. though it seems weird to then be applying standard capitalization rules to parts of the title (ROBOT -> Robot in i,ROBOT, plus for i,Robot a space is being added to the title as it appears on the front cover. and "THE i INSIDE" to either "The i Inside" or "The I Inside")

Quoting Unicus69:

Far too many people are claiming 'standard capitalization' when it isn't in the rules...at least not for English titles.

It's there contextually when you take all of the title rules together, including the examples. It could be made more clear for sure.

What he said.

if you read my post, which I quoted the same rules kdh1949 later quoted I pretty much addressed what you said in your post.

As for it being implicit in the rules, I really don't think that is enough. And I don't think we can go by the examples because when we had a similar discussion about how Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace shouldn't be Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace because it was an specific example in the rules Ken removed it from the given examples.

Also, I see no one commented on the fact that I, Robot / i, Robot / i, ROBOT / I, ROBOT are all incorrect as they all add a non existent space between the comma and the R.

And I never said what "Check Capitalization" means. I just said that it was very vague and it could mean to match the box. though that would be an assumption, just as you saying it doesn't mean that, or saying it means something else is an assumption. "When you make an assumption you make an ass out of 'u' and 'mption'" (prize to whoever sources the quote )

also, you are taking the examples out of context. The examples are giving when referring to the 'joining words'. I'll admit that the  second example (The Matrix Reloaded) doesn't really seem to be an example of joining words, but the fact remains that the rules never clearly state any specifics on title capitalization as compared to the case or for standardizing it. In short if someone submited "i,Robot" just like that, I wouldn't vote no and I probably wouldnt even vote no to "I,Robot" or the variations with a space after the comma.
